We’ve all heard about the amazing health benefits of apple cider vinegar (acv) right? but we forget to take it or how to use it. Most people add a little bit to the top of their salad when they remember but that’s about it. There are so many health benefits from apple cider vinegar (find it here) that I recommend taking it routinely almost as if it’s a supplement. Why? well let’s take a look at just 6 reasons why you should…1. It Maintains an active Metabolism

2. It maintains an active protein metabolism – This helps the body repair and recover, protein is usable.

3. It Boosts Human Growth Hormone (HGH) (Because Available Protein is a building block for HGH)

6. Some of the acids help to produce tryptophan and serotonin, benefiting sleep and overall feeling of well-being.

Here’s a video that describes these in more detail:

Apple cider vinegar has so many benefits, but personally one of the reasons I like it best is because of the digestive and metabolism boosting benefits. It is probably the cheapest way to improve your metabolism (others would be drinking more water and incorporating organic lemons and limes) that I know of. This is a great way to improve metabolism and digestive efficiency allowing for better nutrient absorption and overall health in the gut.

Here’s a video on that topic below specifically. If you are looking to lose unhealthy fat or keep your gut healthier in any way then watch this:

There are so many reasons to consume apple cider vinegar, this list of six reasons could go on and on. Try it yourself for just one week and see what happens. I recommend using a shot glass and pouring 1-2 spoonfulls of ACV in the shot glass then adding water to the rest, drinking it like a shot quickly and then drinking a few big gulps of water afterwards to wash the acids off your teeth.

Sometimes I feel a little burning sensation or movement in my stomach after taking a shot of ACV but I know it’s going to work on my gut, digestive system and metabolism. If you feel the same thing don’t worry too much about it, just drink more water as it may be too much acid at once for you.

I recommend usingBragg Apple Cider Vinegar, it’s raw, unpasteurized and in a glass bottle which is important for liquids this acidic. This is the best quality ACV that I know of on the market and it can be got at most health food stores or on amazon.
